Sonnet 042 - XLII
That thou hast her it is not all my grief,
And yet it may be said I loved her dearly;
That she hath thee is of my wailing chief,
A loss in love that touches me more nearly.
Loving offenders thus I will excuse ye:
Thou dost love her, because thou know'st I love her;
And for my sake even so doth she abuse me,
Suffering my friend for my sake to approve her.
If I lose thee, my loss is my love's gain,
And losing her, my friend hath found that loss;
Both find each other, and I lose both twain,
And both for my sake lay on me this cross:
But here's the joy; my friend and I are one;
Sweet flattery! then she loves but me alone.

#BikeTooter #Bicycling
Mark reshared this.
It's a seasonal city that is extremely bicycle friendly thanks to the Root River Trail, one of the first Rails-to-Trails multi-use paths. Downside is the shops perceive bicycles more as recreation than transportation when they put in bicycle parking, remembering what they used in elementary school instead of using modern best practices.
But also, as someone who has used my bicycle as my main transportation, I appreciate having *anywhere* to lock my bicycle.
Folks on #Bluesky are getting smug about how #Threads are serving ads.
But let’s be real: ads are likely to come to Bluesky too. And it will be worse on Bluesky because Bluesky controls the relays and firehose.
However, on the Fediverse, I control both relays and feeds—the server that I own does everything.

It’s a Friday.
You know why #Meta announced #ads are coming to #Threads on a Friday? Because they know you’re in a good mood, about to start the weekend, and probably not paying attention to what’s going on.
They know ads are unpopular, so they announced this on a Friday.

Getting into a rabbit hole of #running documentaries recently. The recent "Road to Houston" series (which just started) is the latest one, and it's pretty awesome if you can get past the narration: youtube.com/watch?v=72gthn-vea…
It covers the Houston Half Marathon in which (spoiler alert) Conner Mantz got 2nd place to break the American HM record set by Ryan Hall.

Little Drone, Big Damage - Drone that bent this wing weighed less than half a pound
Photos of the internal damage caused by a drone strike on the wing of a CL-415 waterbomber in California 10 days ago show that even tiny drones pack a punch. The drone, pieces of which were recovered from inside the wing, has been identified as weighing less than half a pound. The impact over Pacific Palisades bent the front of a rib and a horizontal leading edge member, and the water-scooping amphib required significant repairs.

The Core reports, Sweden's forests never cease, so the country built an entire city out of wood, 2,000 new homes, 7,000 offices, plus a high school and countless eco-friendly details. It's not your typical backyard treehouse. Instead, it uses cross-laminated timber tougher than steel, cutting emissions in half and fueling a construction frenzy that costs 10% more upfront but saves time (and sanity) because there's no messy concrete to pour. It's called Stockholm Wood City.

Friendica & Bluesky
Is there a friendica/bluesky bridge that does the same thing as the mastodon/bluesky bridge? Let's one follow bluesky accounts on friendica?
Mark reshared this.
Mastodon/Bluesky bridge should work the same for Friendica.
But there is more. There is a Friendica-specific "bridge" to Bluesky, which connects your Bluesky account to Friendica. This makes Friendica a Bluesky client, so you will be able to interact with any Bluesky account (not only these who opted in to federation to Mastodon) - as you will interact with them as a Bluesky user.
Go to Settings → Social Networks. Do you see "Bluesky Import/Export"? If not, ask your admin to add it.
The same thing can be possible with Tumblr (which does not even federate!)

Thanks! Unfortunately that add-on is not installed on friendica.world -- at least not yet.

Getting Through The Day
Despite my resolution to keep the bad stuff out of my head this time around, too much has already leaked in. Not so easy to see the end of all we worked, sacrificed and struggled to accomplish.
But life goes on. The fragrance of roasted millet. The sparkle of sun on the snow. The laughing, little girl, wielding a pink snow shovel, fighting back against efforts to clear the sidewalk.

👉 directly across the street from the Atlantic Beach Arts Market is another big art district ...
👉 of the arts districts I've visited here so far, the Atlantic Beach/Mayport one has the best murals (imo), while the Phoenix Arts District is certainly the largest, when I visited it was mostly graffiti with a few murals; and the CoRK Arts District also has some great murals and graffiti

What many people, both inside and outside of Europe, often fail to appreciate—mainly due to a lack of judicial knowledge—is the additional layer of judicial protection provided by the European Union through the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU).
This court ensures that member states comply with a set of fundamental human rights, serving as an extra safeguard to prevent them from falling into fascism.
USA, sadly, is an example of what can happen when you don't have this kind of protective mechanism.

It’s almost noon and I’m having such a hard time getting going today. It’s so nice to see folks on Mastodon reaching out and lifting each other up, sending support and love around. We’ll get through this if we can keep that up.
I was staring around my office, dazed, and it occurred to me that I couldn’t remember the last time I watered my plants, so I did that. Now one of them is making slight squelching noises. If we could record the noise and amplify, we’d probably hear the word “FINALLY”.

Sonnet 055 - LV
Not marble, nor the gilded monuments
Of princes, shall outlive this powerful rhyme;
But you shall shine more bright in these contents
Than unswept stone, besmear'd with sluttish time.
When wasteful war shall statues overturn,
And broils root out the work of masonry,
Nor Mars his sword, nor war's quick fire shall burn
The living record of your memory.
'Gainst death, and all oblivious enmity
Shall you pace forth; your praise shall still find room
Even in the eyes of all posterity
That wear this world out to the ending doom.
So, till the judgment that yourself arise,
You live in this, and dwell in lovers' eyes.

@dansup there are things where money could help, such as by supporting the development of features such as nomadic identity and better content portability, but from my observation of the Fediverse platform development these are obstructed more by a general lack of interest towards the features in the first place rather «oh no we don't have the resources to implement them». And money doesn't fix this either

#bluesky web login page is well done, you can choose another server, but most people, won't even notice or care.
But 'flagship' / load could be at least partially distributed.
Such a login page could be done if we don't believe each of thousand instances has really a different culture or values.
If all , or most, or the top 10 instance admin, choose to use a standard set of moderation rules, the official client could pick up round robin from a list of big, established, institutional instances, when creating an account.
Leaving the possibility to change that to your own little club, if you know what you are doing.
So I had an odd experience the other day.
Someone told me I was being a reply guy. The thing was, they were replying to my post—I was not replying to them. And I think to be a reply guy, you have to reply.
I think what this person wanted was to reply to me, and just have me shut up while they dispensed with the truth bombs. But I assume that if you’re talking to me, you probably want a dialogue. Otherwise, why be in my mentions?
